One might think that likeability is merely
just another of the many different human virtues; and whether or not a
candidate is a likeable human being has nothing to do with how successful a
president the candidate will be. The ancient Jewish text teaches that a person
who is intensely unlikeable is somehow profoundly at odds with God. What
exactly it means to be profoundly at odds with God is difficult to say with
certainty. But I nonetheless think such a person is not someone we want making
decisions that will affect three hundred and thirty million Americans – and the
rest of the world.[more...]

Back in the colonial days, we participated in
what was called “triangular trade.” Our 13 colonies exported raw
materials and natural resources to Europe who exported value added manufactured
goods. Africa exported slaves to the colonies. Then America became a
manufacturing powerhouse using our own raw materials (minus the slaves) to make
high value products. We became a superpower because of our wealth (military
capability came later, from our wealth). We became the biggest economy in the
world between 1870 and 1900, long before we were regarded to be a global
superpower after WWII. Case in point: The U.S. Trade Representative is trying
to negotiate another rigged trade deal with Europe called the Trans-Atlantic
Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP). There is not much trade involved, but
a lot of investment and top-down deregulation or reregulation (depending upon
how you look at it). [more...]

You Want to Let THESE People Choose America’s
Next President?
By Joe Messina

If you’re one of those who thinks it’s better
to stand on “principle” than vote for Donald Trump, you might want to take a

for. And THEY’LL be deciding America’s next president FOR YOU! [more...]

Author David Horowitz blasts the #NeverTrump
movement in an exclusive interview with Breitbart News, saying that the
holdouts are clueless about politics and that they are “serving the enemy.” Horowitz
also talks about the Democrats’ complete control of city centers, modern
American political realism, and why you should vote for Donald Trump. [See video and transcript...]

Bill Kristol, founder and editor of The Weekly Standard, has been conducting
a search for a third candidate - not to win the election or even to throw the
race into the House of Representatives (this is on TV now, all the time) but to
siphon five percent of the vote away from Trump, thus guaranteeing that he cannot
win. The shame of this plan is that it does not address the voters' concern:
electing someone other than Clinton or Trump. Instead, it is done out of spite
or hatred or anger toward Trump, who won the GOP nomination fair and square. (It’s
not his fault that the other 16 candidates were flat tires and duds.) The leak
that Kristol's vaunted independent candidate is a writer named David French
(whom Romney has praised on social media) is, frankly, a sad joke. [more...]
